Fitting my preferred heads on my new MMP last night I encountered the following inside the 10" tom.
It looks to me like the inner-most ply slipped a touch in the mould.
The drum sounds great and tuned up fine, and I'm assuming if it was a problem the factory wouldn't have continued building this particular drum after it was removed from said mould.
I'm raising it here purely because I just don't know if this is a relatively common feature with these particular drums and something I need not concern myself with, or if this is a flaw that will cause issues further down the road.
Call me a perfectionist if you will but I obtained a lot of satisfaction from the internal finish of the rest of the kit and this one stood out as a result!
